Selective Dumping. Russia is pressing hard to make itself the main supplier of Europe's oil needs. The world's second oil producer after the U.S., it is finishing a 3,600-mile, 40-in. westward pipeline that branches into Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland and Hungary. Russia uses selective dumping to attract European businessmen, has sold the same oil to Italy or West Germany at $9.50 a ton that it sold to impoverished satellite Poland for $23. Italy, the third biggest oil importer in Europe, already gets 17% of its oil from Russia under a contract that saved...
...pump its burgeoning oil and gas production from new fields in the Caucasus and Urals, Russia has undertaken a 38,000-mile pipeline network, with two main legs: one westward from Kuibyshev near the Urals to power the factories of Russia's European satellites, the other thousands of miles through Siberia and on to the Pacific.

Midwesterners have no mountains, but their lakes abound, many of them created in the last 20 years as flood-control projects, which have opened up a whole new recreational world. Vacation houses are springing up around Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock, Taneycomo, and the new Pomme de Terre. In Kansas there...
Political parties: 9. Voters: 40%. Black Africa's most headlined country has almost total ignorance of Western- style government. Only minute proportion of people even aware Congo is nation. Political parties are inexperienced and on strictly tribal lines. Westward-leaning Cyrille Adoula is ablest Premier yet, but still insecure in nearly bankrupt country...
